TD Americade is buying Scottrade; the deal will close next September.


What brokerages are most popular with Bivio clubs?

SEMI Model Club moved from TDAmeritrade to Folio Investments, and BI Brighton Model Club moved from FirstTrade to Folio both several years ago. Why? Because the Model Clubs require individual BetterInvesting membership as a condition of club membership so they easily qualify for no commission window trading . Any investment club that meets the 4 BI member criteria also qualifies. From the BI website.

BetterInvesting Clubs: BetterInvesting and Folio Investing's program for investment clubs helps you save money on one of your biggest expenses: brokerage commissions.

Clubs can use the Folio Investing Unlimited Plan for no annual fee!1 Get unlimited commission-free window trading.* That's a $290 per year value

1-      Applies only to clubs that have paid their annual club dues and have at least four BetterInvesting members

We use Charles Schwab with good results and Bivio link, but I understand they no longer offer accounts to "organizations with less than $1million".

We use Etrade.
They are great & treat us as if we were a big client (even though we are not).

If you have a club member/treasurer who keeps most of their money at Charles Schwab (one million is a good number) Schwab may "household" the club's account if "asked". Two clubs I belong to use TD Ameritrade at their regular fee of $9.99. If you household with Schwab, you may get a better trading fee (I have heard as low at $7.99).
